GeForce GTX 1070 vs Radeon RX 570

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 570, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1168 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce GTX 1070 should be just a bit faster than the Radeon RX 570 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070		262144 MB/sec
Radeon RX 570		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 32768 (14%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 should be quite a bit (more or less 21%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 570. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070		180720 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 570		149504 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 31216 (21%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 is superior to the Radeon RX 570, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070		96384 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 570		37376 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 59008 (158%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
